Client Reviews

"He was savvy and realistic, experienced, a listener, flexible and affordable."

Mr. Sullivan helped me out during a very difficult time for me personally, and I am very satisfied with the outcome. He, unlike other attorneys that I spoke to, wasn't dramatic or falsely enthusiastic, and that was reassuring. He was savvy and realistic, experienced, a listener, flexible and affordable.

"Within 24 hours of contacting Matt, I felt that I had finally found someone who could assist me in working towards resolving our situation."

Over the past two years I have experienced extreme legal difficulties. We were unable to get help from anywhere. Within 24 hours of contacting Matt, I felt that I had finally found someone who could assist me in working towards resolving our situation. I highly recommend Mr. Sullivan.

“I highly recommend Matt.”

I haven't worked with many lawyers as a client; however, I do work with many professionals in my career. Matt Sullivan is the epitome of professionalism, high-touch (personable), and responsiveness. I hired Matt on a recommendation from another attorney when the justice system turned my life upside down. I faced 3 felonies while on Federal probation that resulted in a misdemeanor that would not affect my Fed probation (ends in July 11), career and livelihood. That was my PRIORITY when I first met with Matt and told him that my future was in his hands.

If your life gets turned upside down by our justice system give Matt a call for realistic results that you can live with. I highly recommend Matt.

“He is a real attorney who will stand up for you.”

I hired Mr. Sullivan to represent me in my DUI trial. He fought hard for me in a very difficult case, which we won. I was very happy with his services. It was obvious he cared about me and my case. He is a real attorney who will stand up for you.

"The outcomes were incredibly positive and favorable."

I hired Matt to represent me on three different occasions ranging from a minor infraction to a potentially life changing felony. Admittedly, it was unfortunate run of horrible luck, which led me to meeting and hiring Matt. In each instance he was professional, knowledgeable, resourceful, attentive, personable and results driven. The outcomes were incredibly positive and favorable. That being said, I highly recommend Matt for someone that will truly work hard for your best interest. Matt, you're a great lawyer and I can't thank you enough.

"You helped me through a very difficult time."

Thank you so much for all of your help. I am so grateful to you for all your hard work. You helped me through a very difficult time. I was facing serious charges and you helped me get released and eventually the case was resolved favorably for me after many months of fighting my case. Thank you for keeping me informed and for explaining each step to me.

"I feel fortunate to have connected with such an honest, trustworthy and capable attorney."

Matt came highly recommended to me from a friend of mine. Within an hour of my first call to Mr. Sullivan and a brief overview of my case he was on it. He didn't waste any time getting the information we needed and contacting the other parties to get the ball rolling. He is a extremely resourceful and capable attorney. If something came up that was out of his realm, he would get the answer or someone who had it very quickly. I felt very comfortable working with him and assured that things would work out to my favor, which they did. Matt's confidence is backed by his ability to produce exceptional representation. I will continue to work with Matt when needed and already have recommended him to my friends and family. I feel fortunate to have connected with such an honest, trustworthy and capable attorney.

“I am glad I hired Mr. Sullivan as my attorney.”

I am glad I hired Mr. Sullivan as my attorney. He took my case and visited me while I was being held in police custody on a Saturday night. Nearly every other attorney my friends contacted said that I would have to wait until Monday morning. On top of that, he looked into the facts of my case and began placing phone calls to gather additional information immediately after meeting with me (which, again, was on a Saturday night). Thanks to his quick and diligent work I was released from custody a few hours after I hired him. Without his help, I would have likely been held in custody for at least an additional day and possibly much longer.

"Matt came to my family's rescue when my brother was falsely accused of a heinous crime."

Matt came to my family's rescue when my brother was falsely accused of a heinous crime. He immediately took ownership of the issues; explained the legal context to my family in terms we could understand, provided us with regular feedback so we were not left unnecessarily anxious, and followed through on every issue in the case which ultimately resulted in my brother's favor. I hope we never have to retain a criminal lawyer in the future, but if we do, I will absolutely seek the counsel of Matt Sullivan, Esq.

"I have my life and family back thanks to all the hard work Matt did on my case."

I was charged when I was 28 years old with an extremely serious case which could have kept me in prison until my 70s. I hired a lawyer that did not know what they were doing, and before my trial they wanted me to plead to 14 years and lifetime sex registration. Thank God that my family contacted Matt Sullivan. Matt worked miracles in my case. He got the trial date put off, numerous items of evidence were suppressed, and all kinds of misconduct on the part of law enforcement was exposed. The bottom line is that now I am released, I am 31, and I do not have to register as a sex offender. I have my life and family back thanks to all the hard work Matt did on my case. He worked tirelessly for months and months to get me this result.
